I'm from San Diego, California and currently a new undergrad student at UND.

Additionally I have become part of the financial wellness team to personally assist others on any financial issues they may encounter during their college experience.

I am currently a senior here at the University of North Dakota majoring in Air Traffic Control and minoring in Spanish. I decided to join the Financial Wellness team not only to help other students on campus with their financial options, but also to further my own awareness about managing money. I enjoy going out to eat, listening to music, and spending time outside with friends.
